Sir, once again you deign to impugn the reputation of a fierce fighter and GREAT champion in Mike Tyson who was rated very, very highly by the sages of his own era and the wise men that follow... I repudiate your revisionist revelation that Tyson ducked "white contenders" of the era as Tyson would have been crucified, repeat and reiterate and not redundantly I might add CRUCUFIED, had he chosen to accept a.d. white challenger... Besides which Tyson would have destroyed, demolished, and decimated the white ranks of the era as a 218 lb Roberto Duran would have, he feared no man and to insist otherwise is the nonsensical rant of a modernist snob... Cheers!
